"Easily review website traffic"
What do you like best about CurrentWare?

I like that the software is easily deployable in the cloud. The user interface is really easy to navigate. Updates are simple to install. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CurrentWare?

The categorization of websites seem to mis-categorize sites often. Maybe with the addition of AI the categorization could be improved. I often have to "whitelist" websites that are miscategorized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Dale S of CurrentWare

Thank you for your review, George! Thank you for flagging the website categorization. If you stumble on sites that are miscategorized (or you'd prefer it reclassified to something else for your deployment), you can use these resources:

My main point regarding CurrentWare is that it can make teamwork and productivity much better. A more concentrated and efficient workatmosphere can be achieved through the judicious management of Internet Access.

The initial setup process is so complicated, and it bothers me every time I deal with CurrentWare. When it comes to efficient execution, I feel that there is a lack of clear standards and insufficient contextual information. Another factor that adds to the initial feeling of confusion is the absence of real-time support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
